Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in
your post seem to be running off the screen in Opera. I’m not sure if this is
a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know.
The design and style look great though! Hope you get the
issue resolved soon. Kudos
